    I have been taking cold showers for about 5 months now and I will say it has affected my mental strength GREATLY. It has pretty much erased the anxiety I used to struggle with daily and it's almost like I unlocked a new part of my brain that gives me the strength to handle situations I never thought I had the ability to. The first 5-10 seconds are still a pain to deal with but the shock is worth it and you always feel better after. I definitely recommend trying it if you struggle with anxiety.

      That may be due to vasoconstriction, where your blood vessels constrict as a response to being exposed to fairly low temperatures. The parts you feel coldest are probably the ones that haven't had this fully applied. I am no medical professional and I am just guessing

    But yet, every summer, we jump in that cold pool. Starting with a hesitation, a flinch, but upon being in the cold pool for a few minutes, it feels good. We feel refreshed from the heat of the sun, and our body exerts heat from our heart rate rising from swimming. Then comes another, forgotten in the moment, flinch. Getting out of the pool, back into the heat, and only feeling the breeze that graces our skin raising goose bumps and shivers. Wild.

      You are mentally tough just for having an open mind, and listening to yourself without doubt that you are or aren’t doing something such as changing habits or taking cold water rather than hot. Not for the action, but for being able to clear your mind. Most people are bound in this illusion program they set up for themselves and always have agitated minds. Letting go is the greatest yet most challenging thing one can do. You have to literally let go of everything in your past to awaken into spirituality through the crown. ‘Let go of the persona you manifested and become the one who manifested the persona’. Get it?

    I’ve been taking cold showers for about a week now.
    Not gonna lie, they always suck. Honestly, if you had told me a month ago that I would even consider taking cold showers, I would have laughed in your face.
    But I get it now.
    It’s not about the cold showers.
    It’s about forcing myself to do things I don’t want to do. I want to be a better person but in order to grow, I’ve got to get used to putting myself in situations I don’t want to be in. As uncomfortable and ridiculous as it sounds, If I can’t force myself to do something as simple as take a cold shower, how can I expect myself to have the discipline to become the person I wanna be? It’s drastic but I wanna do it despite knowing I don’t have to.

    My first 2 cold showers were TERRIBLE but during my 3rd shower, I realized something. There’s a state of mind that you have to enter and lock on to when you hop in the freezing shower. It’s basically ignoring any and every thought/feeling of panic that pops up in your mind while you’re in the shower (thoughts like “damn this is cold!”). I learned to become unemotional like a rock and pay the water no mind and the showers became super easy. After that moment of realization, I thought “Let me start using the rock state of mind (that I use in cold showers) in my day to day life” and ever since then, I’ve been wayyy calmer and not so emotional. Act like a rock! 🪨

      I was gonna say, this this this this. I’ve consistently done cold showers since high school (I’m about to graduate college now). The flinch will always be there, the first ten-fifteen seconds will always be painful.
      Has it changed my life? I mean, I’ve been doing it for four years. I don’t think my personality changed much since high school. Still that awkward kid that turns annoying once you get to know him. Sometimes I’m productive, but other times I’m still lazy. I’ve done some interesting things though, like asking a straight guy out and getting flat out rejected, or taking two classes at an Ivy League school that was adjacent to mine. I’ve also texted people some really mean things when I felt angry at them. Those didn’t end well. Did I become more impulsive?
      What was I getting at? Oh, the cold showers thing. Nah, not too life changing. I guess my skin and hair look better, although I wouldn’t be able to tell. Idk, it makes the rest of the day feel better when you start off being extremely physically uncomfortable. Everything also feels warm after you leave it, which honestly feels great, too. I’ll let you know when I become president or something after doing these for another four years, lol.

      @CrazyFactory741 5 років тому +5

      jjsdl really enjoyed this more realistic response lol
      I highly doubt these supposed theories of “discomfort exposure,” on trivial things like cold showers. Ironically, if the person that starts taking cold showers also believes they have a limited willpower reserve, this action will probably add onto resistance to follow through with other habits they’re trying to ingrain throughout their day.
      I think if one were to make themselves uncomfortable, you’re better just waking up early and going for a run. Much more evidence on aerobic exercise and brain health.

    • @blueberry2306
      @blueberry2306 5 років тому +3

      jjsdl maybe its about the mindset. Every time i got out of the shower i felt fresh and like I’ve had the strength to get out of my comfort zone once again. Everything can be impacted positive on your brain if you define it like that. For the last 3 months I’ve never felt better in my life. It completely changed my perspective on things. Like i would be more productive with things and dodge procrastination as much as possible. If you are a reader and trying to decide if cold showers are really for you just do it. There is nothing to lose and always something to gain from doing something different.

      Sometimes I make myself very excited or motivated to take cold showers and so I don't feel any discomfort (the adrenaline probably helps quite a bit), but on the days that I feel very unmotivated, I still have to concentrate on my breathing and after like 10 seconds, the shock goes away. I usually do it in around 40 Fahrenheit and my head starts hurting when I wash my shampoo off.

    As a person who has taken cold shower for almost my entire life there are a few things to remember. If you have a heart condition and you have never taken a cold shower dont directly jump into it like Matt suggest. It may look "cowardly" but you can have a heart attack and I am not joking. Your body will go to a thermal shock something that ppl experience even when the move from Air conditioned rooms to outdoors. The easiest way to do it is pouring water on your feet. Your feet is sort of a temperature regulator of your body once your body accepts it's cold water you can gradually take it up from there knees.. hands... Arms.. elbows.. shoulders and then torso. Trust me that the easiest way and not cowardly at all.

    Your comparison between the cold showers and life is making me feel like something so small, taking the cold shower, can have a tremendous impact on my life as a whole. You take something so simple and relate it to other much more meaningful things and for that, I love your videos.

    Why do I take cold showers? That's an interesting question and one I'd love to have a clear answer for. I don't know why I put myself through all of this, and trust me - I'm asking myself this question
    every time I'm about to do it.
    But logic is not why I do it. I can't logically justify this action of submerging myself in freezing cold water every single day, day by day.
    All I know is that the minute cold water hits my body the whole world goes quiet.
    There's nothing but
    me and water. Just a cold symphony of hateful water hitting my body in hopes taking control over me - and me trying to accept it. Be comfortable with it. It's a dance.
    Often I find myself laughing without a reason -- I guess that's just my unconcious way of trying to release the pain.
    See, all of my inner thoughts dissapear, and I feel nothing but the cold water. All that's going through my mind is "breath".
    Funnily enough, I feel
    this way even before I turn on the water. My heart's racing and I'm trying to find a way to justify not taking a cold shower. Maybe it has no benefits at all right? Or maybe life's too short and we shouldn't do things we don't enjoy, let there be warm showers. Right?
    I say no to these thoughts. Stupid thoughts that always make sense when you're scare... when you're trying to find an easy way out! Now step in the shower, turn it on and let the 5 minute journey begin.
    So let's say you did it. You said fuck you cold water, you can't possibly hurt me. I've been through worse. You feel like a fucking hero. Not only did you beat the cold water today, but you will do it
    tomorrow, and the day after that for the next couple of months. It won't become a habit that easily, don't get me wrong. But each day you will be stronger and stronger... stronger than the scary cold water you've
    been so afraid of.
    Soon you'll realize it's not about the cold showers at all. It never was.
    It's about taking action -- doing something you're afraid of every single day, day by day. It scares you? Good, now do it. Next time it won't be as scary and -- if you keep
    taking cold showers -- that business idea you had won't sound as stupid anymore. Try it. That cute girl you noticed on the street won't look like she's out to get you. Go get her. You've been through worse.
    I'm not saying your life will change in a week, nor will your health improve in a major way -- it probably won't. Your mindset will. You will start noticing the good things.
    The small things that makes us who we are. The small things you might miss if it wasn't for the cold showers...

    I do have one more way, the way I do it
    I just take handful of water and splash it over my body for 3 times, after that I get directly into the shower.
    Splashing water 3 times does:
    1. Diverts my mind from the fear of cold water.
    2. Makes me more confident about doing this.
    3. Makes me get ready before going into.
    I know it might be dumbest way to do so, but it's all about tricking your mind to do tough things like these.
    I would like to thank Matt for bringing up this video.

      I think starting at the feet would be easier. And who cares if someone thinks you’re a coward?😂 go for it!
